Sina Samareh

Sina Samareh is a Tenure Track Researcher in the Department of Wind and Energy Systems at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), specializing in structural design and testing of wind energy materials and components. Based at the Roskilde campus (Frederiksborgvej 399, Building 101, Room S04), his work focuses on the integrity and health monitoring of wind turbine structures through experimental and computational approaches.

Dr. Samareh's research spans wind energy systems, composite materials, structural health monitoring, fatigue analysis, finite element modeling, and delamination mechanics. He investigates critical failure modes in wind turbine blades—including fatigue-induced delamination, crack propagation, and material degradation—using advanced techniques like thermography, acoustic emission, and element testing. His work addresses industry challenges in blade durability under cyclic loading and environmental stresses, with direct applications to improving turbine reliability and lifespan.

Analysis of his publication trends (2020-2025) reveals consistent advancement in experimental methodologies for composite failure analysis, particularly in mixed-mode fracture, creep-fatigue interactions, and thermography-based damage detection. His research bridges computational modeling with physical validation, emphasizing scalable solutions for industrial wind energy applications. Key themes include fatigue delamination growth in thick laminates, rotor blade structural integrity, and novel test specimen designs for composite materials.

Dr. Samareh actively contributes to academic discourse through peer review for journals including Engineering Fracture Mechanics and Measurement, and has presented at conferences such as the NAFEMs seminar on Modeling Dynamics, Fatigue and Fracture (2023) and the Risø International Symposium. His supervisor activities indicate involvement in mentoring students, though specific advisee details are not publicly documented.

Within DTU, he operates in the Structural Design and Testing Wind Energy Materials and Components Division, which conducts cutting-edge research on material characterization, structural validation, and failure prediction for next-generation wind turbine systems. This division leverages DTU's wind energy testing facilities to address industry-critical challenges in large-scale composite structures.
